Why FMGE Is Conducted in Two Shifts
NBEMS conducts FMGE in two parts because:
- The syllabus is extremely vast
- The exam tests complete MBBS-level knowledge
- A single long session could create fatigue for candidates
The split format helps candidates manage concentration and performance better during the exam.
Admit Card & Reporting Time
Reports suggest FMGE admit cards are expected around 24 June 2026, while city intimation slips may release earlier. Candidates are advised to reach centres early because biometric verification and security checks can take time. (www.ndtv.com)
